Charity Christmas Cards to help horses and donkeys

There are a number of lovely charity Christmas cards about this year - and if you're a horse or donkey lover looking to support a horse charity or a donkey charity through buying Christmas cards, here are a few you could lend a hoof to!

It's also worth taking a look at their gift and shop sections as many have wonderful virtual gifts giving working animals the help they need, whether it's veterinary treatment or water troughs, and educating young people about horse and donkey welfare. And many charities run adoption schemes so that you can adopt a donkey or adopt a horse (or sponsor them, depending on the term used by the charity) and give adoption gifts.

Support the Mare and Foal Sanctuary with your Christmas Card purchase! The Sanctuary’s aims to rescue neglected, unwanted or abused horses and to rehabilitate, retrain and eventually rehome them. It also works to educate people on horse and pony welfare.

The charity Bransby Hores Rescue and Welfare is dedicated to improving the lives of horses, ponies, donkeys and mules since it was established in 1968. It has two equine rescue centres in Lincolnshire and Herefordshire and about 400 horses, ponies, donkeys and mules are cared for across the Charity at any one time. Here are their Christmas cards

Redwings Horse Sanctuary also sell Christmas cards. They care for over 1,300 horses, ponies, donkeys and mules every day. Their shop has lots of Christmas decorations to choose from, as well as cards.

The Brooke has an amazing range of gifts which will be gifts not only for your loved one, should you choose to buy one, but will also be a wonderful present for horses and donkeys.
